Reno Abortion Site Closed on Snow Covered Day, Thanks Be to God!

While the snow made if difficult for two of our most faithful prayer volunteers to get to the abortion site on Monday morning, when they arrived there in the early afternoon, they were happy to see that abortion site was closed for business.   It was mentioned that it’s a bit miraculous that a storm has hit Reno with so much snow while the surrounding mountains of Tahoe had barely an inch, which has all melted away.   The abortion site is closed, and for that, we Thank God!

While the prayer volunteers who are typically there from 8-11 am daily were unable to get to the sidewalk, there were others praying from 11:30 am – 4 pm, traveling from as far as Truckee and from as near as Huffaker Lane.   It didn’t appear that they were open to serve women, and no sign was seen of Dr. Stutes the abortionist.   But the Waste Disposal truck was seen leaving the property in the late afternoon and one of the women employees was seen leaving afterwards.   We continue to keep her and her colleagues in prayer, as we pray that they will come to appreciate that there are better ways to make a living, ways that better serve the women to come to them in distress.   These women deserve an option that leaves them in less long term pain than the dead end of abortion.

40 Days through Scripture

Day 7: Mark 7 – 11 (including: Mark 8:34-38)
He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.   For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.   What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?   What could one give in exchange for his life?   Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Have you denied yourself and picked up your cross today?   Come to the sidewalk, stand at the foot of the cross, be there for the innocents as they leave the world.

National News

President Obama, Pelosi, Reid Still Pushing Pro-abortion Health Bill!

[National Right to Life, Washington] - President Obama and top Democratic congressional leaders are continuing to push hard for enactment, in the months just ahead, of sweeping health care restructuring legislation that includes far-reaching pro-abortion provisions.

President Obama has invited key Republican congressional leaders to participate in a "summit" on health care on February 25.  But Administration officials, and Democratic congressional leaders, already have made it clear that they remain committed to enactment of the essence of the health bill passed by the Senate in December, H.R. 3590.  Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of Health and Human Services, has said that effort to enact the massive legislation will "accelerate" after the February 25 summit.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) has also repeatedly affirmed her determination to win final approval of broad restructuring legislation.  "We will move on many fronts, any front we can," she said on January 28.  "We'll go through the gate. If the gate's closed, we'll go over the fence.  If the fence is too high, we'll pole-vault in.  If that doesn't work, we'll parachute in."

In recent weeks, National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) lobbyists have been busy educating members of the House about how enactment of the abortion-related provisions of the health care bill passed by the Senate (H.R. 3590) would constitute the biggest expansion of abortion by Congress since Roe v. Wade. 

"The Senate bill would result in direct federal funding of abortion, federal subsidies for private abortion insurance, and federal pro-abortion mandates," said NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson.  "The scope of the abortion-related problems with the Senate bill are being vastly understated in the news media."

Obama, Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nv.) are discussing plans to have the Senate pass a new, smaller bill, containing certain changes to H.R. 3590, using a fast-track procedure called "reconciliation" that would not be subject to a Republican filibuster.  Under this plan, the House would then pass both the original Senate-passed H.R. 3590 and the new package of changes at about the same time, and President Obama would sign both bills into law.   To Continue Reading

Abortion 101

After the Abortion

Abortion is sold to women as a solution to their problem.   What they aren’t told and what many realize afterwards, sometimes many years later, is that abortion can be followed by physical and psychological difficulties brought on by the abortion.

These problems can include:

For those who suggest that abortion is a solution to the dangers of pregnancy for women who are unprepared for motherhood, there is an excellent study that shines a light on the lie.   Abortion is Four Times Deadlier than Childbirth: http://www.afterabortion.org/PAR/V8/n2/finland.html
